Lighting can play a big role in the way your kitchen space can appear in size. A small kitchen does not need fluorescent lights as they can depress a small kitchen. Any lighting that can be put up under wall cupboards will not make the room appear too bright or too small. Lighting should blend in with your colors and overall décor to give the room a good contrast.

Express Yourself Artistically and Inexpensively. Nothing makes a room feel completely renovated more than a fresh coat of paint. Repaint your kitchen walls in a shade that is completely different from your existing color. Either choose a paint that goes along with your cupboards or redecorate them to compliment the walls. Your paint and supplies should be purchased at Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart offers an extensive paint collection which easily rivals the size of most paint stores. The best part of shopping at Wal-Mart though is the great value. You know your budget, as slim as it is, and Wal-Mart has quality paints at prices you can easily afford.

How does one design with a country theme kitchen? One of the most important factors is the colors used in the kitchen. Those that bring in warmth and a fresh and clean look and feel are often recommended. Softer hues of green, yellow and brown may be preferred as well as other earthly colors. To help achieve this effect, kitchen owners will often flower and plant details into the area through wallpapers, frames or the real thins in vases and pots.
